Abstract Objective The study evaluates the economic benefit of population-wide vitamin D and Ca food fortification in Germany. Design Based on a spreadsheet model, we compared the cost of a population-wide vitamin D and Ca food-fortification programme with the potential cost savings from prevented fractures in the German female population aged 65 years and older. Setting The annual burden of disease and the intervention cost were assessed for two scenarios: (i) no food fortification; and (ii…

Public health impact and economic evaluation of vitamin D-fortified dairy products for fracture prevention in France
TLDR
Vitamin D-fortified dairy products have the potential to substantially reduce the burden of osteoporotic fractures in France and seem an economically beneficial strategy, especially in the general population aged above 70 years.
The projected public health and economic impact of vitamin D fortified dairy products for fracture prevention in France
TLDR
The potential public health and economic benefits of vitamin D fortified dairy products is expected to substantially increase in the future, especially in the population aged over 80 years.
Preventing vitamin D deficiency (VDD): a systematic review of economic evaluations
TLDR
There is a paucity of data on vitamin D fortification and how fortification programmes compare to population supplementation programmes, and suggestions of what is required to undertake population-based cost-effectiveness analysis are offered.
A scoping review of the public health impact of vitamin D-fortified dairy products for fracture prevention
TLDR
A systematic review suggests that the use of dairy products could substantially reduce the burden of osteoporotic fractures and seem to be an economically beneficial strategy.
Vitamin D Dietary Intake through Dairy Products to Reduce the Risk of Osteoporosis
TLDR
There is enough clinical data demonstrating that an intake of vitamin D and calcium together sufficient to cover dietary requirements can greatly reduce the risk of osteoporotic fracture in older people, so recommended daily intake of dietary vitamin D is strictly correlated with age.
Rationale and Plan for Vitamin D Food Fortification: A Review and Guidance Paper
TLDR
Systematic vitamin D food fortification is an effective approach to improve vitamin D status in the general population and this has already been introduced by countries such as the US, Canada, India, and Finland.
Effect of Calcium Fortified Foods on Health Outcomes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
TLDR
It is highlighted that calcium fortification leads to a higher calcium intake, small benefits in children’s height and bone health and also important evidence gaps for other outcomes and populations that could be solved with high quality experimental or quasi-experimental studies in relevant groups.
Dietary Intake of Vitamin D from Dairy Products Reduces the Risk of Osteoporosis
TLDR
It is important to maintain correct dietary calcium-phosphate balance in order to have a healthy life, reducing the risk of osteoporotic fractures in older people.
Regulatory and Policy-Related Aspects of Calcium Fortification of Foods. Implications for Implementing National Strategies of Calcium Fortification
TLDR
The strategy to include calcium in the fortification mix in fortified staple foods seems promising in these countries, however, potential undesired changes on the organoleptic characteristics of fortified foods and products thereof, and operational feasibility at the manufacturing site should be evaluated by the stakeholders during the planning stage.

TLDR
Simulation results suggest a role for lifetime treatment of older women with calcium and vitamin D3 in Sweden, and suggest that treatment may also be cost saving or at least cost-effective for many cohorts of high-risk 50- and particularly 60-year-old women, in particular those with osteoporosis or a maternal family history of hip fracture.
Cost-effectiveness of vitamin D and calcium supplementation in the treatment of elderly women and men with osteoporosis.
TLDR
It is suggested that vitamin D and calcium supplementation is cost-effective for women and men with osteoporosis aged over 60 years and should therefore be administrated in these populations including those also taking other osteoporeotic treatments.
The estimated benefits of vitamin D for Germany.
TLDR
It should be the goal of nutrition and medical societies to erase vitamin D deficiency in Germany within the next 5-10 years and the daily production of at least 25 microg of vitamin D in the skin or an equivalent oral intake should be guaranteed.
A pooled analysis of vitamin D dose requirements for fracture prevention.
TLDR
Benefits at the highest level of vitamin D intake were fairly consistent across subgroups defined by age group, type of dwelling, baseline 25-hydroxyvitamin D level, and additional calcium intake, and high-dose vitamin D supplementation was somewhat favorable in the prevention of hip fracture and any nonvertebral fracture in persons 65 years of age or older.

TLDR
Current information available on interventions to prevent fractures in the elderly in the United Kingdom suggests that, at the decision-maker's ceiling ratio of $20,000 per QALY, hip protectors are cost-effective in the general female population and high-risk male population, and cost-saving in the high- risk female population, despite the low compliance rate with the treatment.
Cost-effectiveness analysis of hip fracture prevention with vitamin D supplementation: a Markov micro-simulation model applied to the French population over 65 years old without previous hip fracture
SummaryWe performed a cost-effectiveness analysis of four vitamin D supplementation strategies for primary prevention of hip fracture among the elderly population and found that the most…
Vitamin D and vitamin D analogues for preventing fractures in post-menopausal women and older men.
TLDR
There is high quality evidence that vitamin D alone, in the formats and doses tested, is unlikely to be effective in preventing hip fracture, and moderate quality evidence of an absence of a statistically significant preventive effect on clinical vertebral fractures.

Vitamin D: An overview of vitamin D status and intake in Europe
TLDR
In most European countries, there seems to be a shortfall in achieving current vitamin D recommendations, and an exception is Finland, where dietary survey data indicate that recent national policies that include fortification and supplementation have resulted in an increase in vitamin D intakes, but this may not be a suitable strategy for all European populations.
An updated systematic review and meta-analysis of the efficacy of vitamin D food fortification.
TLDR
Safe and effective food-based strategies could increase 25(OH)D across the population distribution and prevent vitamin D deficiency with potential benefit for public health.
